Ice, Done Right
Good ice is underrated. A large-format cube melts more slowly and dilutes your drink less, the reason every serious cocktail bar uses 2-inch cubes. A sphere is even better: maximum volume, minimum surface area, slowest melt. At the other end of the spectrum, a dependable everyday ice tray and a decent ice bucket are things most kitchens are missing. At Tarzian West for Housewares, Brooklyn's neighborhood kitchen store since 1977, we cover the full range.
